Already launched in the last two years, the MCD12000 SACD\/CD player, MA12000 hybrid integrated amplifier, C12000 preamplifier and MC1.25KW mono power unit all take on the &#8220;<em>75th Anniversary<\/em>&#8221; emblem, thanks to the addition of a circular logo on the top of the unit, featuring a monogram with\u00a0<em>Mc<\/em>,\u00a0<em>75\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0<em>1949\u00a0<\/em>intertwined, in addition to the notion of &#8220;75th&#8221; on the top of the handles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1560\" height=\"1040\" src=\"https:\/\/vumetre.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/McIntosh-MC21KW-power-amp-back.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2437\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vumetre.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/McIntosh-MC21KW-power-amp-back.jpg 1560w, https:\/\/vumetre.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/McIntosh-MC21KW-power-amp-back-1280x853.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/vumetre.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/McIntosh-MC21KW-power-amp-back-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/vumetre.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/McIntosh-MC21KW-power-amp-back-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1560px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And to take things a step further, the American brand, easily identifiable thanks to its blue vumeters, is presenting a limited series of 75 pairs of MC2.1KW monoblocs, whose power peaks at 2000W. In three chassis, the output module of this model is based on the style of the 1200W MC1.25KW with a massive vumeter in front, but must now be combined with two power blocs of the same format, each delivering 1000W. At the rear of the first unit, three stages of three pairs of terminal blocks allow, for the chosen channel, to amplify a loudspeaker in class AB with double push-pull mounting on impedances of 2\u03a9, 4\u03a9\u00a0or 8\u03a9, connecting it with one, two or three pairs of cables. The other two blocks have only one current input and one input and output for connection to the aforementioned module. Weighing in at a minimum of 54kg (120lb) each, for a total of around 181kg (400lb) when all three are grouped together, i.e. over 362kg (800lb) for a pair of MC2.1KW, this system enters the top of the most excessive ultra-high-fidelity products, all this at a price of $50,000 or \u20ac65,000 per set of three modules, i.e. $100,000 or \u20ac130,000 per pair.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>McIntosh commemorates its creation in 1949 with a&nbsp;75th&nbsp;Anniversary&nbsp;series and new monophonic power module Just a few days after the presentation of Sonus Faber&#8217;s Suprema, McIntosh introduces an Anniversary Series featuring a monoblock amplifier system composed by three chassis, ideal for use with some of the world&#8217;s most extreme loudspeakers, including the manufacturer&#8217;s XRT2.1K.
